THE GRAFTON.

Honors to the fallen
brave. offerings to his memory, fun.
eral fires, feasts and ovations. strew-
ing his grave with flowers. and the
erection OF monuments and tablets In
commmemoration Of his work or
valor are ceremonies old as history.
The Egyp ptian monarch inscribed the
records OF his victories on the walls Of
Theban temples. The Greeks reduced
to ash es the bodies of their heroes
slain In foreign lands, and carried the
sacred dust back to the land for which
when living they had fought. The
ovation Of Pericles will serve - .
model through oil ages, and one Of the
most touching lamentations In sacred
or profane history 10 that Of the He
brew Shepherd King over his friend
and brother soldier. Nor are heroic
traits and deeds found only among
the past, nor is the appreciation Of
them among the lost attributes Of .
race thought by some 70 be enervated
and dIvsstsd Of heroic qualities. The
Spartan mothers stern admonition, 90
she armed her STRIPPING son for the
tray. "With your shield-or upon it,"
had many parallels during the late
war Of the rebellion, and the maid Of
the nineteenth century, who bound
the WARRIORS sash" and sent him forth
to battle, bravely keeping back the
tears lest they should tempt him 70
fAlter and stay, IVES fully the equal Of
her who. In the days Of chivalry,
handed him sword and shield and
bads him strike oaly fcr the hight,
